For a 20 minute episode this had a lot of call backs to the original days of Pokémon and a lot of feels.

Ash meets a boy, Haruka, who has never touched Pokémon so they both try to find a Pokémon that Haruka can touch. Instead Ash meets a couple who says that Haruka is their son.... who got sick and passed away.

I'm sad this is in an alternate universe could I would've loved seeing this in the main universe. It had everything I love about Pokémon. Goofy moments, Pokémon interactions, the bond between Ash and Pikachu, Ash being able to make friends and sometimes ... there are these episodes that just make you feel stuff (I'm still not over Mallow's mother from Sun & Moon or the Stoutland episode). Anyway, great special that everyone who loves Pokémon should watch.

Not my favorite Pokémon series but what a ride!

After winning his first regional Pokémon League and becoming the Alola Champion, Ash returns to Pallet Town. Eventually he goes to Vermillion City where he meets Gou and together they become a researcher duo.

Both Ash and Gou have different goals.
Ash eventually decides to participate in the PWC aka the Pokémon World Championships (which was teased in the Diamond & Pearl series, gotta love some forshadowing!) where Ash eventually wants to enter the Masters Eight, which are the eight strongest trainers in the world with Leon being the number 1.
Gou wants to meet Mew and does ... so by catching as many Pokémon as he can. Honestly, I needed some time to get used to him but I eventually learned to love him. At some point he also joins Project Mew which is a group of people that want to find Mew but not everyone is allowed to join. The people who want to join have to collect Mew tokens and only if you have the right amount of coins, you can join. Because of this Gou does have a few rivals like Tokio and even Gary, Ash's old rival.

Overall I loved the series. It's not like all the previous Pokémon series where Ash just stays in one region. Ash and Gou go to every region, including Galar, the only one of these regions that Ash has never fully discovered. Because of this we do see older characters returning like Iris, who now the Unova Champion (and member of the Masters 8), Dawn (who still does contests) and more.
Ash doesn't really have a rival like he usually has. His 'main rival' is basically Leon since that's the one he wants to beat. The only other trainer that comes close to being a rival is Bea.

There are a lot of things I didn't like. I didn't like how they didn't spent more time in Galar or how there weren't more two parters and the pacing felt very off too at times. Ash jumped many spots in his PWC ranking at once. I wanted more PWC battles. I hated Team Rocket's treatment.

Luckily there are more things that I did love. Ash and Gou are a great duo. Koharu is a great addition but she deserved better. Ash becoming the world champion was so satisfying and I cried when it happened. Ash vs Leon is the best battle in the entire history of the Pokémon anime and I don't think they'll ever be able to top this (to be fair, I did say this about Ash vs Kukui too....)

Seeing all the character returns and cameos was a blast. I grew up with this anime since 1999 and it means the world to me. It's clear that this series wasn't just catered towards kids but also to the adults who grew up with this show. This is the last full series with Ash as the main protagonist and it's clear they wanted to celebrate his past with this series.

Overall a great show, my second favorite Pokémon series.

This anime started really strong. We met Fena, who's about to be sold but she escapes from the castle and teams up with a pirate crew.

I wanted Fena to become more like a pirate. We have a few moments where we see her training with weapons but she never actually fights anyone herself. They need to save her all the time.

It did have some fun moments too, the twins are probably my favorite characters. They made me laugh multiple times.

Overal I was disappointed, the ending felt weird and rushed. I would still watch a season 2 if it happens though.

I really enjoyed this movie. It made me cry, smile, laugh and cry more. The characters were really relatable, something you don't see a lot in anime. Overall I'm giving it a 9. Haven't enjoyed a movie this much in a long time. My only issue with the movie was how Shoko didn't have a real personality besides not being able to hear. It was only more towards the end that we see her having an actual personality. (which is why I gave an 8 for characters instead of a 9)

I really really loved this movie so much! I bought the blu ray on Amazon even though I didn't see it yet, I just heard so many good things about it!

Story: 10. It gets a 10, simply cause the story was interesting and I was focused the whole time which doesn't happen a lot :p

Art: 10: I really liked the artstyle, enough said.

Character: 9. I really liked the characters but they were kinda basic, nothing to special about them but still interesting enough.

Overall: A 10. I do not regret buying this movie. It's totally a movie I'm gonna re-watch multiple times.

I just love this so much. I even loved season 2 more than season 1. (I'm really hoping for a season 3 by the way, there's enough source material so yea)

Story: 9
The story is just great. It doesn't really have this one big storyline but some things from the first season came back (like the Raj stuff) etc. I just simply loved it.

Art: 10
I love the art way to much.

Character: 10
The characters are what makes this anime so great to be honest. Serious characters, funny characters. This anime has them all. The development is also great. Raj who became friends with Shirayuki for example.
...

Since the first time I watched this movie, I finally re-watched it (after like 7 years I think?)

Story: 8
I really liked the story. I do think it should have explained this future Paradox was talking about better but now that we saw a futuristic Duel Academy in Arc-V, he maybe meant that?

Art: 10
I just loved the art :p

Characters: 8
I was super nice seeing Yugi, Jaden and Yusei interacting and working together. I've always loved crossovers for exactly this reason. There's nothing better seeing characters from different series/era's working together and fighting the same villain. And even though this movie is clearly focused on Yusei ... (which is logical), I do wanted more references to Kaiba, Joey and the other characters. Or maybe even show them.

Enjoyment: 10
I just enjoyed this movie. I loved the duel. The only Yu-Gi-Oh movie I would (and will) re-watch multiple times out of my own will :p

Overall: 9

I usually don't write reviews cause I suck but I still wanted to write a review for this movie...

Story:
The plot was absolutely garbage. I gave it a 3 but I feel like that's still to much. It kinda felt like the same plot from Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie (which also sucked).

Art:
The art was absolutely fantastic. Can't say anything bad about it to be honest.

Characters:
It was such a nice feeling to see all the older characters back. Kaiba is still that douchebag, Joey is still a dork, etc. I feel like they should have used characters like Joey, Tristan and Thea more though.
The villain ... on the other hand was horrible :/

Enjoyment:
Sadly, even though the characters were great to see again, it didn't make me enjoy the movie more.

So overall, I give it a 5. So I guess it's not THAT bad, I guess I just expected more. From the three movies Yu-Gi-Oh has, it still only has one good movie so far. Maybe when they wanna make movies, they should focus on new characters instead of characters from the series?
